WordPress Theme Release: InSense

Continuing from our last success with the Blogging Pro theme, we wanted to continue to release themes for WordPress that had a strong sense of design, and so with the help of Design Disease, we have worked on creating InSense, a two column theme with the popular blue and orange color set that the web is known for.

Some rounded edges, some subtle lines, InSense is a very nice looking theme, that would be even easier that our previous theme to modify.

Having such themes created though takes time and money, and so we have gone ahead and added a sponsor to the theme. We want to be up front about this and mention it, as it is not something we feel should be hidden. This sponsorship has allowed us to produce this theme, and will allow us to continue to produce themes for the WordPress community. We hope that you will keep this link intact, but it is not required as part of our Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0 license.

InSense is Widget ready though the search box is not moveable, and when using widgets, the different areas will not use the nicer icon graphics that we have set up. It is a bit of a trade-off, but we are limited in what we can make the WordPress Widgets code do.

Iâ€™d like to appeal to ALL WP theme developers to stop using that ugly WP 0.1 legacy : the big empty space next to each picture embedded in a post.
The CSS float and clear properties have been around for a while now and are easily incorporated in any themeâ€™s stylesheet.
Please ?

Great design, I plan on using this on a Mac Spoofs site I run, but as I installed it on my test site, I noticed there is a problem when viewing the theme in Safari. The little rounded image on the left side of the footer is no longer there, and is dropped a few pages down, so there is a huge space under the footer, followed by the little footer image. I checked it on the wordpress theme viewer as well, same problem.

I’ve personally made the changes outlined above, and a few other minor tweaks like making the font bigger and removing the sponsored links.

In addition, the search bar wasn’t correctly working. Thankfully the site was designed to an open standard, so I just cut and pasted the necessary code from the Kubrick template.

I can confirm that there is minor breakage in IE6, most noticably on the javascript rollover in the nav bar underneath the header. Also, the width of the page is slightly wider, which leads to a misplacement of the rounded corners.

there’s a little mistake with widget “recent comments”. WordPress’ widgets.php adds some style info and the graphic SRightIco.png is drawn over then. I added the following line to style.css to get rid of this:

I am a premium theme guy with all sorts of layout manipulation at my beck and call – but they are expensive! I have two clients I have forwarded this “Insense Theme” to and so we are going ahead. I have taken note of the IE Issue(s) and hope that I will have a stress free day tomorrow. – Bookmarking you now. Thanks! — Southern California
